MIME_type

Syntax

MIME_type = cache_type:cache_size:maximum_age

List of entries that define the caches which WebSEAL uses to store documents in memory.

MIME_type: Any valid MIME type conveyed in an HTTP Content-Type: response header. This value may contain an asterisk to denote a wildcard ( * ). A value of */* represents a default object cache that holds any object that does not correspond to an explicitly configured cache.
cache_type: Defines the type of backing store to use for the cache. Only memory caches are supported.
cache_size: The maximum size, in kilobytes, to which the cache grows before objects are removed according to a least-recently-used algorithm. The minimum allowable value is 1 kilobyte. WebSEAL reports an error and fails to start if the value is less than or equal to zero (0). WebSEAL does not impose a maximum allowable value.
def-max-age: Specifies the maximum age (in seconds) if expiry information is missing from the original response. If no value is provided, a default maximum age of 3600 (one hour) will be applied. The configured default maximum age is only used when the cached response is missing the cache control headers: Cache-Control, Expires, and Last-Modified.
Note: If only Last-Modified is present, the maximum age will be calculated as ten percent of the difference between the current time and the last-modified time.

This stanza entry is optional.
